What exactly does sealed off sound like?

i never heard one, but everyone i know has said it has alot of noise from subs, also lows dont sound as good and that its quiet unless thhe windows are down, so anyone who has heard one, whats your take on it

Re: What exactly does sealed off sound like?

This all depends on the vehicle, you may gain output in frequencies, you may lose output in frequencies

I had my solo x 12s in my backseat area not sealed off to walling them off, and I lost output in the 25 to 27 hz range but gained pretty much up towards the mid 50s. For me the low lows play the best with just one window open, then windows up and lastly with both windows down.

i bet from the outside the car sounds alot better sealed off tho right? less rattle and more bass from a bystanders point of view

Sealed off gets rid of a lot of rattle but, also more bass in higher frequencies. Usually reflecting the bass of of the trunk amplifies the lower frequencies 20-30hz and those will be lacking more once sealed off. Sealing off can actual make it sound more peaky also but, in terms of getting higher numbers it is the way to go.

hmmm. I suppose I will post something. So. Your dipshit friends say that the subs make noise when firing forward. That could be from a shit ton of reasons. Subs are motors and have moving parts. and if you some how fuck something up, say port area, port tunning, over power or clip, then you might get noise. most fools get hella noises anyways but cant hear the shit because it is all contained in the trunk. but a properly done sealed off trunk forward fire setup can be noise free.
